The Blues signed the 23-year-old in the summer for £33m from Marseille.

However, the Belgium international has failed to make an impression at Stamford Bridge due to Diego Costa's stunning form.

Batshuayi has started just three games - all in the EFL Cup - and made 12 Premier League substitute appearances under Conte this campaign.

And the Chelsea boss has discussed his striker's situation, revealing he wants him to stay focused and prove he's ready for the physicality of English football.

"He could be frustrated, especially when you are used to playing every game with Marseille, but when you arrive at a great team like Chelsea you normally have to fight to find a place in the starting 11," said Conte.

"Michy is finding a lot of difficulty in adapting to this league and the football because it is very physical and is not easy.

"He is only 23 years old, he is young, he can improve a lot and in front of him there is Diego Costa and for this reason, he is finding it a bit difficult to play.
